Cabinet to decide on Clean Energy Target

Pressure's increasing on the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull ahead of this evening's cabinet meeting to decide on the future of a proposal to increase a Clean Energy Target.

Labor's already accusing Mr Turnbull of bowing to the demands of former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who's today refusing to rule out a return to the Liberal leadership.

Meanwhile, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says Mr Turnbull's leadership on energy policy has been "pathetic" and is backing Mr Abbott's calls for the Government to build a new coal fired power station.
